Last month, we spent an incredible 3 days at Credit Strategy’s Credit Week, packed with insightful discussions on genAI, ML, vulnerability, fighting fraud, regulation, and alternative data. It was rewarding to be part of the conference and contribute to the conversations actively shaping the future of innovation in finance 🚀 Our team had some standout moments with two impactful panels: Opening the conference, our CCO, Ryan M., was invited to take part in the conference's opening panel titled "How Could the Regulatory Environment Change Post General Election?" with Emma Lovell, CEO of Lending Standards Board, Jonathan Staward Prof. PgDip (GRC), CRO and CCO of Equifax, Jeremy Miles, Minister for the Economy & Energy - Welsh Government, and Chris Leslie, Board Member of FENCA - Federation of European National Collection Associations. Chaired by Ian King of Sky News, Ryan discussed growth opportunities the new Government will inherit and Zilch's role in this growth. Notably, Zilch and Innovate Finance co-founding the Unicorn Council for UK FinTech (#UCFT) – a market-first £50 billion collective of CEOs providing the vital recommendations for government and policymakers to pioneer growth in the areas of capital markets, taxation, and regulation. Closing the conference, our Chief Risk Officer, Desmond McNamara, joined a powerful panel with Samantha Fogerty, COO of Payl8r, and Alice Tapper, Advisory Board member of Plend | B Corp, "Will BNPL Survive Regulation?”. Chaired by Amy Assad of Credit Strategy, the discussion emphasised the critical role of regulation and Zilch’s commitment to driving innovation and responsible, ethical lending.

3, 2, 1... We have lift-off 🚀 On our mission to eliminate the high cost of consumer credit, we are excited to share we’ve just raised an initial £100 million of financing from Deutsche Bank in our first #securitisation structure deal – a level of finance only accessed by the world's most financially mature businesses. Time flies, huh? In just under 4 years since launching Zilch out of beta mode and getting regulated, we have generated over $3bn in commerce for our retailers on our unique Ad-Subsidised Payments Network #ASPN. We’re incredibly proud that we've now saved our customers over half a billion dollars in fees and interest. This deal is transformative and will allow us to almost triple sales and rapidly accelerate the rollout of our product roadmap as we grow to breakeven and beyond. A few big shoutouts 🤩... Having run our unique model since the birth of Zilch, congrats to our talented CFO Hugh Courtney, CRO Desmond McNamara and GC Amy Sandys and their teams for closing this deal in record time as we take another giant leap forward as company before potentially entering the public markets. Combined with our latest #GenAI deal with Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced in April, it’s huge news for all of us at Zilch 💚 A huge thanks to the whole #DB team for spending time meticulously looking at our business model and leadership to help close this innovative deal that will pave the way for our forward direction. Thanks to some of the amazing organisations that have helped us get here including… Amazon Web Services (AWS), Monavate ,Thredd, Mastercard, Onfido, Marqeta, Checkout.com, Innovate Finance, StepChange, Financial Conduct Authority, Google, ClearScore, Experian, TransUnion. Want to hear and see more? As a first deep-insight on TV, our CEO Philip Belamant will join Lizzy Burden in the studio on Bloomberg later today at 4:40pm (London time)… for now, read more about it here in the official PR 👇 Sean Hederman Albert Periu Ryan M.

The UK has the third largest tech sector in the world (behind the US and China) and the second deepest pools of capital, but it is the number one place for starting an innovative company. However, there's so much more that can be done to further accelerate growth 🚀 Watch below 👇 as our CEO and Co-Founder, Philip Belamant was invited into CNBC's London studios to speak openly with leading anchors Stephen Sedgwick and Karen Tso. They discussed specific ways to pioneer growth, innovate affordability for consumers, and unlock opportunities for companies to stay, scale, and IPO here. #UCFT ...As Phil says, let's make it happen!
Great sitting down with Stephen Sedgwick and Karen Tso at CNBC to talk about the specific actions we need to supercharge the UK’s growth. We have a world-leading UK technology sector, yet the word ‘technology’ was barely mentioned in the first TV election debates. Now more than ever, with the right policies and investment in our technology sector, we can unlock major economic growth. Let’s make it happen. The full interview’s below #UCFT

In exactly five weeks today… The people of the UK will have cast their votes and we’ll all know precisely who will be elected to lead and steer this great country. As a proud UK-born and rapidly scaling business, our CEO & Co-Founder, Philip Belamant, had the privilege of being asked to stop by and speak with Bloomberg's Lizzy Burden yesterday morning. They explored how we're thinking about the UK market beyond the upcoming election. See below for the full interview... 📺 The next government will inherit stewardship of a trillion-dollar, world-leading UK technology sector—the third largest on the planet. Just imagine the possibilities if we get policy right and, crucially, can provide absolute clarity. The Unicorn Council for UK FinTech #UCFT that Zilch co-founded earlier this year with Innovate Finance, is collectively guiding a £50 billion wave of potential future UK IPOs. This unique assembly of visionary leaders, who today run the most valuable private fintech companies in the UK and generate colossal economic value for the country, is co-chaired by Philip alongside CEOs Janine Hirt, Francesca Carlesi of Revolut, and Charles McManus of ClearBank. They possess a clear vision of the core handful of policies needed right now to transform perceptions and accelerate economic growth in the UK. 📢 As Philip said to Bloomberg: "Let’s remove any excuse for the stakeholders here in the UK to invest in the economic growth of the country. Let's just get rid of those excuses..." #Zilch, Ryan M. Michael Carter #InnovateFinance, #Payments #UnicornCouncil #Bloomberg #UK #GeneralElection #GE #BNPL #Regulation
